I would recommend this Driving School to anyone. Being a older learner I needed extra encouragement to get me through. Matt guided me into being a confident driver and that I can do it. Matt supported me in every way, I couldn't have wished for a better instructor.

I had Jodie as my instructor and couldn't have had anyone better to teach me. She was very patient and honest, and always helpful, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning.

Passed my driving test with Trevor as my instructor. Would really recommend him as he's extremely patient. He's been a great guide and gives plenty of feedback to ensure I was ready for the tests.

I had Rachel as my instructor and couldn't recommend her enough! My Saturday mornings won't be the same anymore knowing we won't have our chats during our lessons! She helped fit me in and worked around my schedule so I could complete my lessons. Rachel sent me helpful videos which supported the lessons. The feedback given after each lesson was even more useful and the overall experience with Sherwood driving made my learning experience easier and convenient. 100/10!
